    Abstract: Under the authority of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, Congress directed the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement a comprehensive 
program for the safe management of hazardous waste. In addition, 
Congress wrote that ``[a]ny person may petition the Administrator for 
the promulgation, amendment or repeal of any regulation'' under RCRA 
(section 7004(a)).
    40 CFR parts 260 and 261 contain provisions that allow regulated 
entities to apply for petitions, variances, exclusions, and exemptions 
from various RCRA requirements.
    The following are some examples of information required from 
petitioners under 40 CFR part 260. Under 40 CFR 260.20(b), all 
rulemaking petitioners must submit basic information with their 
demonstrations, including name, address, and statement of interest in 
the proposed action. Under Sec.  260.21, all petitioners for equivalent 
testing or analytical methods must include specific information in 
their petitions and demonstrate to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator that the proposed method is equal to, or superior to, the 
corresponding method in terms of its sensitivity, accuracy, and 
reproducibility. Under Sec.  260.22, petitions to amend part 261 to 
exclude a waste produced at a particular facility (more simply, to 
delist a waste) must meet extensive informational requirements. When a 
petition is submitted, the Agency reviews materials, deliberates, 
publishes its tentative decision in the Federal Register, and requests 
public comment. EPA also may hold informal public hearings (if 
requested by an interested person or at the discretion of the 
Administrator) to hear oral comments on its tentative decision. After 
evaluating all comments, EPA publishes its final decision in the 
Federal Register.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Regulated businesses/industries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 7004(a)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 26,041 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 484,789 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $78,895,502 (per year), includes $51,648,460 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 346,943 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to the consolidation of ICRs 
2127.03, 2455.01, and 2421.04 into this ICR 1189.26. The base ICR had a 
decrease of 8,192 hours, which is due to estimates gathered from the 
regulated community. This increase is also due to combining the burden
